Note: A lot of illegals and Muslims smoke. It's the great paradox for the liberals.

That insurance thingy kicks a big hole in one of the antis favorite arguments.
Do you think they care?
Do you think they'll abandon the argument?
Neither do I.

No, actually.
But I commend St Cloud officials for going back to basics and what worked for them. This not hiring of smokers just didn't work for them.

Yeah, we don't care if you are a retarded nit who can't perform your job well, don't show up half the time or are a thief. As long as you don't smoke THOSE EVIL CIGARETTES, you are fired.
My ex-husband is a piece of crap garbage, but he's a non-smoker.

Some good news.
But let's back up a moment here, shall we?
Imagine, ST Cloud not hiring someone because the fellow is black, or an indian, or better yet, A HOMOSEXUAL.
How long did they they get away with discriminating against smokers?
How long would they get away with discriminating against a HOMOSEXUAL?
Smokers are equally discriminated against, regardless of race, creed, or religion.
If they did this to anyone else, the city would have had a MASSIVE lawsuit filed against them.
What an outrageous BS double standard.

A lot of guys who do blue collar work smoke.
A lot of mechanics, welders, heavy machinery operators, and such.
Discrimination; it's for the "children"

What an outrageous BS double standard.It's like the anti's going into a private business and forcing a smoking ban. Yet, out of the other side of their mouths, they state that landlords can ban smoking in apartments because they are "owned" by a person and not the state.
Common! The state does NOT own a restaurant and/or bar! What is the difference? People have to wake up to this garbage.
Smokers really "are" discriminated against. And cigarettes are a legal commodity!!

Shoot. Muslims smoke like fiends. There are hookah bars everywhere you find them in any numbers.

What an outrageous BS double standard.Which brings me back to the Christmas holidays. A woman was robbed of her purse in a Wal Mart. She went up to a security guard and told him.
He said "Well, this is private property. You entered at your own risk."
Now, I ask you! Isn't restaurants and/or bars "private property?" I sure would like to know the difference here! The anti's suck.

Wrong. Theft is theft. Private property doesn't matter. The guard was wrong.

I agree with you.
These people do NOTHING but twist things around to fit their control-freak agendas.
They have no interest in the truth.
